Value Delivered

Forest Electric New Jersey performed the electrical fit-out for the Jack & Sheryl Morris
Cancer Center—a new state-of-the-art facility at Robert Wood Johnson University
Hospital, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, and Rutgers Cancer Institute. The project schedule required a contractor that was familiar with hospital work and had the engineering expertise and depth along with a top-notch prefabrication shop. 

This required diligent scheduling and coordination with our engineering department, general contractor, and other trades. Our team dedicated five engineers to keep the project on track. With the help of our extensive prefabrication shop and expertise in hospital work, the project was able to meet its scheduled dates.
